Résumé

Abstract
This paper examines the critical role that visual literacies often play in the introductory course to Gender and Women’s Studies. Drawing on transnational feminist scholarship, the author argues that theorizing visual literacies can provide a valuable entry point into considering the material and ideological stakes of feminist knowledge production.

En s’appuyant sur des recherches féministes transnationales, l’auteure soutient que la théorisation des compétences médiatiques peut fournir un point d’entrée précieux pour aborder le contenu et les enjeux idéologiques de la production du savoir féministe.
